For this prompt, first lets take a look at the opening pages to All Star Superman #1 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely.

Look at how in the first two pages, using only 8 words, he manages to tell the audience everything they would need to know about Superman.
In this prompt, I want you to take one or two comic pages and give us all the information we would need to know about a given character. You can use a maximum of six panels and up to twenty-five words (dialogue, thought balloons or captions--credits and panel descriptions don't count).
If you can do this then you can deliver the essence of a character very quickly and allow the audience to interact with them at the start of the story. And you get more pages to get your story moving.
